12 Edelweiss Prudent Advantage Fund (Formerly, Edelweiss Value Opportuni es Fund) INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The objec ve of the Scheme is to generate returns through a combina on of dividend income and capital apprecia on by inves ng primarily in a well diversified por olio of Value Stocks. Value Stocks are those stocks, which tend to trade at a lower price rela ve to their fundamentals (i.e. dividends, earnings, sales, etc.) and thus considered undervalued by investors. They have a rac ve valua ons in rela on to earnings or book value or current and/or future dividends. However, there is no assurance that the investment objec ve of the Scheme will be realized and the Scheme does not assure or guarantee any returns. Under normal circumstances, the an cipated asset alloca on pa ern is: Types of Instruments Normal Allocation (% to Net Assets) Equity & Equity related Securities (Value Stocks) 65 to 100 Other Equity & Equity related Securities 0 to 35 Debt & Money Market Instruments* 0 to 35 *Money Market Instruments include CPs, Commercial Bills, Corporate Debt, T-Bills, and Government securi es having an unexpired maturity upto one year, CDs, usance bills, CBLOs, Repo/ Reverse Repo and any other like instruments having a maturity of 1 year or less, as specified by the RBI from me to me. Further, The investments in securi sed papers including Pass through Cer ficates (PTCs) may be made upto 35% of the net assets of the Scheme. The Scheme can also take deriva ve exposure upto 100 % of the net assets of the Scheme. The cumula ve gross exposure through equity, debt and deriva ve posi ons will not exceed 100% of the net assets of the Scheme. However, cash or cash equivalents with residual maturity of less than 91 days may be treated as not crea ng any exposure. The total exposure related to op on premium paid will not exceed 20% of the net assets of the Scheme. The Scheme may enter into plain vanilla interest rate swaps for hedging purposes. Exposure to a single counterparty in such transac ons will not exceed 10% of the net assets of the Scheme. The Scheme may engage in Stock Lending. Not more than 25% of the net assets of the Scheme can generally be deployed in stock lending and not more than 5% of the net assets of the Scheme will be deployed in Stock lending to any single counterparty. The Scheme may invest in Foreign Securi es upto 35% of the Permissible Investments of net assets of the Scheme. INVESTMENT STRATEGY OF THE SCHEME : The Scheme aims to provide long term capital growth by inves ng primarily in a well-diversified por olio of companies accumulated at a discount to their fair value a er taking into considera on various factors such as earnings, asset value, free cash flow, dividend yield etc. with respect to the market and their peers ASSET ALLOCATION PATTERN RISK PROFILE OF THE SCHEME PLANS & OPTIONS / FACILITIES APPLICABLE NAV MINIMUM APPLICATION / ADDITIONAL PURCHASE / REPURCHASE (REDEMPTION) AMOUNT/NO. OF UNITS DESPATCH OF REPURCHASE (REDEMPTION) REQUEST The Scheme aims to iden fy such stocks, which have a rac ve valua ons in rela on to earnings or book value or current and/or future dividends and are available at a price, which can be termed as a bargain. This may cons tute stocks which have depreciated for a short period due to some excep onal circumstance or due to market correc on phase or due to lack of interest in inves ng in a sector, which has significantly underperformed the market. Such stocks are considered to have intrinsic value because of their business models and show poten al for smart growth in the future. Intrinsic value of a stock is determined through analyzing inter-alia the EPS (Earnings per Share), the Book Value per share and comparing these value parameters to the market value so as to select stocks which may be available at more favourable valua ons when compared with peer groups or with applicable benchmarks. Thus, the universe of stocks for this Scheme will be defined as those stocks whose prices are low rela ve to their fundamentals, their historic performance, their book values, their earnings and cash flow poten al and current and/or future dividends. For investment, AMC may use industry specific valua on measures to evaluate companies in every sector in order to select the most a rac ve companies for the por olio. Few important financial parameters that AMC proposes to study are the price-to-book ra o, which is defined as the market capitaliza on of a stock divided by the accoun ng book value of equity (which equals the total assets of the company less total liabili es). Thus, if the price-to-book ra o is less than one, the investor is paying less than one rupee for each one rupee of net assets stated on the company's books. For picking up stocks, AMC would start with the premise that current market price may not always be an indica on of the true worth of business. This supports the view that at current valua on, stocks may be cheaper than the Index and have value that has not yet been unlocked and hence the probability of capital apprecia on is much higher. Hence such stocks can be considered since they offer a poten al return. Since the P/E ra o is only one of the factors involved in the evalua on of a company's investment worthiness, investment decisions cannot be based on this ra onale alone. Other parameters such as management compe veness, business compe veness, growth prospects, etc. would also be considered. The endeavor would be to select those stocks which are at a P/E ra o which is lower than the benchmark / peer group P/E ra o level. The Scheme may also use various deriva ves and hedging products from me to me, as would be available and permi ed by SEBI, in an a empt to protect the value of the por olio and enhance Unit holders' interest. Mutual Fund Units involve investment risks including the possible loss of principal. Please read the SID carefully for details on risk factors before investment.

16 EDELWEISS ARBITRAGE FUND INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The investment objec ve of the Scheme is to generate income by predominantly inves ng in arbitrage opportuni es in the cash and the deriva ve segments of the equity markets and the arbitrage opportuni es available within the deriva ve segment and by inves ng the balance in debt and money market instruments. However, there is no assurance that the investment objec ve of the scheme will be realized. The Scheme will aim to have a fully hedged por olio to meet its Investment Objec ve. 1. Under normal circumstances, the an cipated asset alloca on would be as follows: ASSET ALLOCATION PATTERN RISK PROFILE OF THE SCHEME PLANS & OPTIONS / FACILITIES APPLICABLE NAV MINIMUM APPLICATION / ADDITIONAL PURCHASE / REPURCHASE (REDEMPTION) AMOUNT/NO. OF UNITS DESPATCH OF REPURCHASE (REDEMPTION) REQUEST Types of Instruments 2. Under defensive circumstances, the an cipated asset alloca on would be as follows: The Scheme will not invest in Foreign Securi es and ADRs/GDRs issued by Indian or foreign companies. The Scheme will not invest in Stock Lending and Short Selling. Note: Ÿ Defensive circumstances are when the arbitrage opportuni es in the market place are negligible or returns are lower than alterna ve investment opportuni es as per the alloca on pa ern. The alloca on under defensive circumstances will be made keeping in view the interest of the unit holders. Such posi on will be closely monitored by the fund manager and necessary rebalancing will be done at suitable opportunity but not later than 30 days. Ÿ The margin money requirement for the purposes of deriva ve exposure will be held in the form of Term Deposits, cash or cash equivalents or as may be allowed under the Regula ons. Ÿ Money Market Instruments include Cps, commercial bills, Corporate Debt, T-Bills, and Government securi es having an unexpired maturity upto one year, CDs, usance bills, CBLOs, Repo/ Reverse Repo and any other like instruments having a maturity of 1 year or less, as specified by the RBI from me to me. Ÿ The above percentages are indica ve and not absolute. Further, Ÿ The Scheme will not invest in Securi zed Debt, Credit Default Swap or equity linked debentures. Ÿ The Scheme can take deriva ve exposure upto a limit as stated in the tables above. The total exposure related to op ons premium paid will not exceed 20% of the net assets of the Scheme. Ÿ The Scheme may enter into plain vanilla interest rate swaps for hedging purposes. Exposure to a single counterparty in such transac ons will not exceed 10% of the net assets of the Scheme. Ÿ The cumula ve gross exposure through equity, debt and deriva ve posi ons will not exceed 100% of the net assets of the Scheme. However, cash or cash equivalents with residual maturity of less than 91 days may be treated as not crea ng any exposure. Ÿ The Scheme shall not undertake repo /reverse repo transac ons in Corporate Debt Securi es. Ÿ From me to me, the Scheme may hold cash and/or invest in the Collateralised Borrowing & Lending Obliga ons (CBLO) or repo to meet the liquidity requirements. Ÿ The Scheme may also invest in other schemes managed by the AMC or in the schemes of any other Mutual Fund within the regulatory limits, provided it is in conformity with the investment objec ves of the Scheme. Ÿ Pending deployment of funds of the Scheme in securi es in terms of the investment objec ve of the Scheme, the AMC may park the funds of the Scheme in short term deposits of scheduled commercial banks, subject to the guidelines issued by SEBI vide its circular dated April 16, 2007, as amended from me to me. INVESTMENT STRATEGY OF THE SCHEME Ÿ The scheme will invest in arbitrage opportuni es between spot and futures prices of exchange traded equi es and the arbitrage opportuni es available within the deriva ve segment. If suitable arbitrage opportuni es are not available in the opinion of the Fund Manager, the scheme may invest in short term debt and money market securi es. Ÿ The Fund Manager will evaluate the difference between the price of a stock in the futures market and in the spot market. If the price of a stock in the futures market is higher than in the spot market, a er adjus ng for costs and taxes the scheme shall buy the stock in the spot market and sell the same stock in equal quan ty in the futures market, simultaneously. Ÿ The Scheme will endeavor to build similar market neutral posi ons that offer an arbitrage poten al for e.g. buying the basket of index cons tuents in the cash or futures segment and selling the index futures, etc. The Scheme would also look to avail of opportuni es between one futures contract and another. Ÿ The margin money requirement for the purposes of deriva ve exposure will be held in the form of Term Deposits, cash or cash equivalents. Mutual Fund Units involve investment risks including the possible loss of principal. Please read the Scheme Informa on Document carefully for details on risk factors before investment. The performance of the Scheme may be affected by changes in Government policies, general levels of interest rates and risks associated with trading volumes, liquidity and se lement systems, etc. Investment in Edelweiss Arbitrage Fund will involve certain scheme specific risk factors apart from the general risks men oned in SAI which are summarized below : Ÿ There can be no assurance or guarantee that the arbitrage opportuni es may exist at all mes in the capital market. The lack of arbitrage opportuni es shall not provide an opportunity to the Fund Manager to exploit price discrepancies in the capital markets. Ÿ In case if the fund receives heavy redemp ons, before the Expiry Day (last Thursday of every month or any day specified by the exchange), the liquidity and/or NAV of the Scheme might be affected. In such cases, the Fund Manager may be required to unwind posi ons in deriva ve segments before the expiry day, which may result in a fall in NAV. Ÿ The performance of the Scheme will depend on the ability of the fund manager to iden fy opportuni es due to price spread in the cash and deriva ve market. No assurance can be given that Fund Manager will be able to locate investment opportuni es or to correctly exploit price spread in the equity markets. There may be instances where the price spread between cash and deriva ve market is insufficient to meet the cost of carry. In such situa ons, the Fund Manager due to lack of opportuni es in the deriva ve market may not be able to outperform liquid/money market funds. In addi on to this, there can be increase in number of transac ons as the fund manager has to take simultaneous calls in cash and deriva ve market, which may lead to high por olio turnover and consequently will lead to high transac on costs. Equity And Equity Related Instruments: The value of the Scheme's investments may be affected generally by factors affec ng securi es markets, such as price and volume vola lity in the capital markets, etc. Se lement periods and transfer procedures may restrict the liquidity of the investments made by the Scheme. The Scheme may face liquidity risk or execu on risk or redemp on risk or the risk of NAV going below par. Debt and Money market Instruments: Risk associated with investments in Fixed Income and Money Market Instruments involves Price/Interest rate Risk, Spread Risk, Credit Risk or Default Risk, Liquidity & Se lement Risk, Reinvestment Risk, Performance Risk, Prepayment Risk, Market Risk etc. Deriva ves: Deriva ve products are leveraged instruments and can provide dispropor onate gains as well as dispropor onate losses to the investor. Iden fica on and execu on of the strategies to be pursued by the fund manager involve uncertainty and decision of fund manager may not always be profitable. No assurance can be given that the fund manager will be able to iden fy or execute such strategies. The Scheme offers two Plans: 1. Regular Plan and 2. Direct Plan For details pertaining to Direct Plan and Default Plan, please refer paragraphs "Direct Plan" and "Default Plan" respec vely under the sec on "INFORMATION COMMON TO ALL SCHEMES. Each Plan will offer : (i) Growth Op on (ii) Dividend Op on. Dividend op on has Reinvestment, Payout & Sweep Facility.

SEBI circular dated January 24, 2013 on identification of Beneficial Ownership has prescribed a uniform approach to be followed for determination of beneficial owners. A 'Beneficial owner' is defined as a natural person/s who ultimately own, control or influence a client and/or persons on whose behalf a transaction is being conducted, which includes persons who exercise ultimate effective control over a legal person or arrangement. All categories of investors except individuals, company listed on a stock exchange or majority owned subsidiary of such company, are requested to provide details about beneficial ownership in the Application Forms for all their investments. The Fund reserves the right to reject applications/restrict further investments or seek additional information from investors who have not provided the requisite information on beneficial ownership. In the event of change in beneficial ownership, investors are requested to immediately update the details with the Fund/Registrar. XVII FATCA DETAILS: The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act is a United States (US) federal law, aimed at prevention of tax evasion by US Citizens and Residents ( US Persons ) through use of offshore accounts. The FATCA provisions were included in the HIRE Act enacted by the US legislature. FATCA is designed to increase compliance by US taxpayers and is intended to bolster efforts to prevent tax evasion by the US taxpayers with offshore investments. As per SEBI circular no. CIR/MIRSD/2/2014 dated June 30, 2014, the Government of India and the US have reached an agreement in substance on the terms of an Inter-Governmental Agreement ( IGA ) to implement the FATCA provisions, which have become globally applicable from July 1, FATCA requires enhancement of due diligence processes by the Foreign Financial Institutions ( FFI ) so as to enable identification of US reportable accounts. The Fund/ Edelweiss Asset Management Limited ( the AMC ) are likely to be classified as a FFI under the FATCA provisions, in which case the Fund /the AMC would be required, from time to time, to (i) undertake necessary due diligence process by collecting information/ documentary evidence of the US/non US status of the investors; (ii) disclose/report information as far as may be legally permitted about the holdings/investment returns pertaining to reportable accounts to the US Internal Revenue Service and/or such Indian authorities as may be specified under FATCA or other applicable laws and (iii) carry out such other activities as prescribed under the FATCA provisions, as amended from time to time. FATCA due diligence will have to be directed at each investor/unit holder (including joint investors) and on being identified as a reportable person/specified US person, all the folios will be reported. Further, in case of folio with joint investors, the entire account value of investment portfolio will be attributable under each such reportable person. Investors/Unit holders would therefore be required to furnish such information to the Fund/AMC, from time to time, in order to comply with the reporting requirements stated in the IGA and or circulars/guidelines issued by SEBI/AMFI in this regard. The impact of FATCA is relevant not only at the point of on-boarding of the investors but also throughout the life cycle of the investor account / folio with the Fund. Hence investor(s) should immediately intimate the Fund/AMC, in case of any change in the FATCA related information provided by them at the time of initial subscription. The Fund/AMC reserves the right to reject any application or compulsorily redeem the units held directly or beneficially in case the applicant/investor fails to furnish the relevant information and/or documentation or is found to be holding units in contravention of the FATCA provisions. Investors are advised to consult their tax advisors to understand the FATCA requirements and its implications in relation to their investment. Page 40
